JAM's Torch Bonanza - WSCL giveaway

Thread rating:  |
Alice - 17 Aug 2006 22:32 GMT Hiya all,
I'm posting this thread on behalf of JAM a.k.a Jay (*GodReturns) and Sam (*Ekoodron).
Some of you may know that during his tenure in D2: LoD, Jay has run for many torches that he has more than he ever needs. Therefore he would like to eventually give away his entire collection of torches to you AGDers. There are approximately 30 torches currently available for grab.
To make this interesting, I will do some guessing games. Each of you may have up to 8 (eight) guesses every week of what torch (class / attributes / resistances) Jay has in his mules. Please number your guesses 1 to 8, and separate them on a new line. I will scan thru all of everyone's guesses and award up to 2 (two) torches per person per "period of time" if Jay has a torch similar in its statistics to the one of your guesses. "Period of time" really depends on when I and/or Jay have time to check this thread. It could vary from twice a day to once a week :) As an incentive though, school will start for me soon and therefore I'm very likely to pick winners very often so we can be done with this as soon as possible.
For example, let's say Jay has an Amazon 17/15. One of your guesses include an Amazon 19/14, and no one else's guesses are closer in statistics to yours. You will then win that Amazon 17/15. I don't have a tie breaker rule in place, in case of one, I'll pick the person I like more :)
Please include your WSCL account name with your guesses. We'd much prefer if you will use the torches you win for yourself and not as tradding fodders. This is not limited to current west sc ladderites only, anyone who wishes to start here is also welcome to participate!

Thanks Alice/Jam! Any idea when the first round will close? I chose all Pally because that is the only torch type I need to use; otherwise it might upgrade a current torch or sit on a mule (which I do not want to do.)
I like this idea btw. Creative.

Alice - 22 Aug 2006 03:20 GMT Just to let everyone know, I also conduct this torch giveaway in AB as well.
Here's the AGD result after round 1. I'm using the following format: Name: Guess -> Get
Gerald Abrahamson: P 15/19 -> 16/19 ~misfit~: As 18/18 -> 18/16 -R: N 14/15 -> 16/16 Gene Jackson: D 12/17 - > 12/16 Strongfok: D 15/17 -> 14/17 RU42: P 12/13 -> 12/12 EvilBill: Am 19/20 -> 15/20
Will the above people contact me, *VioletSky or *VSmule in Bnet or reply to my email addy above
Even if you have already emailed me for the item giveaway, I want you to email me again for the torch. The mule account is likely to be different than the one I use for the item giveaway, because there are still people who haven't contacted me thus I can't delete the mules yet. Emailing me makes it easier for me to hit the reply button, instead of scrambling over to find your email addies.
Statistics after 1 round. 7 torches given to AGDers 7 torches given to ABers 16 torches left
This also marks the beginning of round 2. Again, everyone is welcome to join. We'd really appreciate if you ask only for torch that you will actually use.
Round 2 may take longer before I'll close, because I've been busy with Realm Beyond Diablo.

~misfit~, I put your torch in your main account, the last char I think, a level 1 Pally - ChiliWiley.
Those who know my account info from the items giveaway, please let -R, Gene Jackson, and Strongfok know if you see them.
Those who receive torch, please thank Jay if you see him.

Thanks Alice, I'll have to get working on my trapper now. <g>
I haven't got around to building that Pally yet, he's supposed to be a re-build of ChillBill-II now I have his end-gear, except I've been hoping to get an Anni for him first. A bit like how you built Threl last ladder, only you did it right first time. ;-)

I will try to see you online tonight, though Misfit (if you are listening and it is okay with you), my torch can be placed in one of your accounts and whenever you get time you can place it in my Druid's stash. Alice, I can't thank you enough and Jay also, now if I am lucky enough to win a barb or pally torch...
Thank you again,

I moved the torch and also the Andariels Visage that Alice gave you earlier onto your druid.
Cheers,
 Signature Shaun.

Thank you Shaun, as always, you need anything in my account, it is yours. Alice, I can't thank you enough, I just can't believe we are losing so many people to wow; or maybe I started playing the game a bit too late... My druid will come of age soon, he is just a little sapling now, but will soon be a solid oak.

Alice - 05 Sep 2006 22:01 GMT > Statistics after 1 round. > 7 torches given to AGDers > 7 torches given to ABers > 16 torches left After the end of round 1, I have been giving away more torches to people in my friend-list and several other AGDers. Those AGDers didn't need to guess the torches, because they are new or somewhat new, and after talking to them I found them to be pleasant.
I will sort through the guesses by this weekend and select the winners, but before that I'd like to update the current torches available. Am: 0 As: 2 B: 0 D: 2 N: 5 P: 0 S: 0 Total 9
Everyone is welcome to revise their guesses if they want. As always, please guess only torch that you *will* actually use, not one that you *think* you may have a use for. As long as you guess a torch class that JAM has in stock you will win one. As I did with round 1, I will sort thru everyone's guesses, and the closest guess wins the first torch, and so on until either no more torches or no more guesses.
Alice - 08 Sep 2006 15:42 GMT I'm using the same format: Name: Winning Guess -> Torch Won
Cavadure: As 15/16 -> 20/11 Gene Jackson: N 17/15 -> 19/13
You can retrieve your torches in the same mule as before. Contact me or other previous winners if you forget the mule info.
Statistics after 2 rounds. 15 torches given to AGDers 7 torches given to ABers 1 torch given to BBer 7 torches left: 1 As, 2 D, 4 N
Cavadure - 08 Sep 2006 15:53 GMT > I'm using the same format: > Name: Winning Guess -> Torch Won > > Cavadure: As 15/16 -> 20/11 Wow! thank you so much. My trapper sends her love and gratitude. :)
